and bulid though I suspect this govt is all bluff and bluster and will not dig "dirt" but succumb to pressure. Anyone noticed the the genocide continues in Syria without more than a few useless words of condemnation from the international community not to mention the patheitc EU.

The woman has never had a single good thing about Its Israel its either condemnation, support for terrorists or if we make a goodwill gesture of some kind she says we need to give more.
For the arabs she is always full of praise.
If there is a terror attack and Israelis are killed its a terrible shame about the victims but reason is the occupation.
Disgusting woman, just shows how the House of Lords has gone downhill if this is the kind of trash it produces these days.

Where was the EU when Rome destroyed our Temple and exiled the Jews from our own land? The EU was then under Roman occupation, including Britain.
Where were the EU when arab hordes occupied Israel and built illegal mosques and settlements?

For Ashton and her ilk in the EU, UN and White House to complain (so frequently and bitterly!) about housing for JEWS is a public display of bigotry. TENS OF THOUSANDS of houses have been built for Arabs in the very same Disputed Territories and have drawn no condemnation from anyone. Why is it OK for Arabs to build somewhere but it's not OK for Jews? Why does wild and grandiose construction of Arab housing in Disputed Territory not threaten the outcome of any final agreement but extremely limited construction by Jews cause such grief? Is Europe preparing to limit Jews to living within the Pale of Settlement again? Bigots! Plain and simple!

The time is long overdue for Israel to tell the E.U. to butt out. It has no business interfering in Israel's affairs. We are not ghetto Jews. We don't take orders from the E.U.
The E.U. had better tend to it's own fast disintegrating society. All of Israel belongs to Jews and we will build EVERYWHERE in our land.

Ashton appears to act like a Tibetan monk turning the prayer mill, time upon time again issuing her mantra of condemning Israel building houses on it's land, in it's capital for 3000 years, yet never approaching issues of real importance , like calls for killing Jews by Hamas or condemning Syrian's from both sides committing war crimes.

About Israel building in it's GOD given homeland.This woman has a very negative obsession with Israel,she ignores all the worlds other problems and concentrates on Israel instead.Ignore her and keep building and building non stop.

Jerusalem is the Capital of Israel why one should travel from Jerusalem to Betlehem direct If any one want to visit the Palestian New so called Nation why not go via there Capital Ramallah I give my both thumbs up Build Israel Build in our Greatest City Jerusalem Capital of Israel

Doesn't the woman feel she's blowing hot air and making a complete spectacle of herself?
The more she 'slams, Israel 'builds and rightly so!
Israel doesn't need the 'approval of unelected people like Mrs. Ashton & those who elected her in the most undemocratic way, to tell the elected PM of Israel if/where/what to build!

And its consistent given how they do the same with the Arabs. We - Jews and Arabs - are all (in their own minds) like children and need their guidance and at times discipline. It seems we are being treated like the older child who should know better while the Arabs have convinced them that they are as helpless as toddlers and often being "picked on" by the older child. An effort should be made to always remind the Europeans we are not their children

She just has to speak the speak she beleives her listeners want to hear. Her declarations re: Israels building it's own nation show she has no historical kowledge. I am still waiting to hear from Arab, Christian, Zoroastrian or Jew-where was the Palestinian nation? where was the language, culture religion,food that makes this group qualify any more than me saying all right handed females named Jan need their own nation- because three of us used to live here.....

It is Ok for Arabs to build, because they are the victims, and they have the world's sympathy.
It is NOT OK for jews to build, because we do not like you, or want you. It has been like this for the last 4,000 years.
Understand now??
